Xiao Yuqi turned his head away, not wanting to look at her.
Su Jianyue smiled brightly.
"Is TV interesting? How about I prepare two dishes and we can watch it while we eat?"
"I have to go to court, and I don't have the leisure to eat with such an ignorant person!"
Su Jianyue bumped into his shoulder.
"Why are you so stingy?"
Xiao Yuqi glared at Su Jianyue angrily.
"Only women and villains are hard to raise!"
Su Jianyue snorted and didn't care about Xiao Yuqi's accusation.
Xiao Yuqi left and came back.
...
...
"I just saw on TV that the rice and flour here have a very high yield. Can you give me some rice and flour so I can go back and study it?"
Su Jianyue is very generous.
"Will you come with me to get it?"
Xiao Yuqi nodded.
Su Jianyue took him to the kitchen.
He took out a bag of 2.5kg compressed rice and put it in Xiao Yuqi's hand.
"I only have rice and flour here. I live alone and have almost no use for it. But I still have a few sweet potatoes. I heard that they have a very high yield. When our country was hit by famine in the past, sweet potatoes really saved the lives of half of the country. You can take them and study them."
Su Jianyue said this and turned her gaze to the basket of sweet potatoes.
"Oh wow, it has sprouted already?"
Su Jianyue is a person who has very high requirements on food ingredients.
Even though she is not at home half of the year, the ingredients always available at home must be the freshest and of the best quality.
For example, the bag of rice that Xiao Yuqi just gave was the Wuchang rice that she thought tasted the best.
For example, the sweet potato that has sprouted in her hand is a super sweet and soft Thai potato.
"Rice can't be grown. If you want to research it, I can find a way to get you some new rice with better quality."
The rice bought from the supermarket is all processed and then packaged for sale.
It is only suitable for eating and cannot be grown at all.
Su Jianyue packed the sweet potatoes in a bag and handed it to him.
"This is called sweet potato. It is both a fruit and a seed. It is very easy to grow!"
"Each sweet potato should be spaced about half the length of your little finger. After arranging the potatoes, cover them with soil. The soil doesn't need to be very thick, just about half the length of your little finger. When the sweet potato seedlings grow to half the length of your arm and have six to eight complete leaves, you can plant them in the field."
"When transplanting, you need to plant it diagonally and deeper. If the weather is dry, only two leaves and the tender heart need to be exposed, and the rest of the leaves should be buried in the soil. This way the yield will be higher."
Su Jianyue spoke clearly and logically. After thinking for a while, he asked again: "Do you remember what I said?"
Xiao Yuqi was surprised.
"You...are good at this?"
"That's right. I've been good at work since I was a kid!"
There was no way out. In that devilish family, if you didn’t work, you wouldn’t have food to eat. Sometimes, even if you worked, you still had no food to eat.
Working in the fields is much better than being beaten and scolded at home.
"I think you didn't understand what I said."
Although Xiao Yuqi was not favored when he was young, he was still a prince after all. How could a prince know how to farm?
Su Jianyue stuffed all the things into Xiao Yuqi's arms.
"I'll draw you a picture of the planting method. You should be able to understand it, right?"
Su Jianyue went to the semi-open study room on the other side of the living room, casually pulled out a piece of A4 paper, picked up a sketch pen, and drew simple sketches of several stages of sweet potato planting.
Just a few strokes, but vivid and lifelike.
Xiao Yuqi asked: "What kind of pen is that in your hand?"
"pencil."
Su Jianyue finished the last step and added: "I don't know the specific composition of lead either. It's useless for you to ask me!"
Su Jianyue's smile was a little dazzling.
The mobile phone she bought for Xiao Yuqi will arrive today. Because his ID card has not been processed, he cannot buy a mobile phone card for the time being. Su Jianyue plans to keep this matter a secret for the time being to prevent this man from taking advantage of her!
Now, he has learned how to show his displeasure to her!
"Oh!"
Xiao Yuqi sneered, "You are very good!"
"Thank you for the compliment!"
Su Jianyue stuffed the A4 paper into Xiao Yuqi's hand.
"Your Majesty, you will be late for court!"
Xiao Yuqi smiled instead of getting angry, "In order to verify Miss Su's superb disguise skills, I found someone to take over today."
"hiss!"
Su Jianyue took a breath of cold air.
"You are awesome for being passive!"
"We still have to thank Miss Su for her superb skills!"
The business interaction ended and Xiao Yuqi took the things away.
He was really busy. The Queen Mother's birthday banquet was imminent. Although he had completed the arrangements, things were not settled yet and he could not feel at ease.
The king of a fallen country!
These four words are so heavy, how can he bear it?
After watching Xiao Yuqi leave, Su Jianyue fell asleep tiredly on the sofa in the living room.
She found that since she met Xiao Yuqi, the number of times she stayed up late at night increased.
This habit is very bad and will affect her stunning beauty!
Thinking of this, Su Jianyue quickly took a bath to wash her face, and then put on an anti-aging mask.
She makes a living by her looks!
It’s almost the afternoon.
In Zuiqing Garden, a pond of lotus leaves are crowded together for fun. The naughty red lotuses poke their heads out from the edges of the round lotus leaves, scrambling to come out and share in the joy.
The chief steward and the maids in charge directed the eunuchs and palace maids under their command to confirm the details of the banquet over and over again, fearing that there would be any mistakes.
Some ministers had already arrived with their families, and the ministers were seated in order according to their rank.
The sound of stringed instruments began, with the melodious bamboo flute and the crisp pipa sound, kicking off the banquet.
Xiao Yuqi went to the Empress Dowager's palace early to pay his respects.
They waited respectfully for the Queen Mother to arrive in her best attire.
The empress dowager was no more than thirty-eight or thirty-nine years old, and because she took good care of herself, there was not a single gray hair on her temples.
"Although this white jade Guanyin statue that the emperor gave me is rare, the emperor should know exactly what I want."
Qiaozhen, a top maid who had served the empress dowager for many years, half-knelt on the ground and carefully placed a emerald green bracelet on the empress dowager's wrist.
Then she took out a jewelry box specially used to store rings and asked the Queen Mother to choose the ring to wear today.
Xiao Yuqi was waiting outside the Ci'an Palace. Hearing this, he said, "I understand your mother's painstaking efforts, but I really don't have the heart to do anything between men and women right now. Please don't blame me, mother!"
"Not interested in sex?"
The Queen Mother selected a bright red gemstone ring and a pure gold and silk phoenix tail ring from among a number of rings made of gems, gold, silver and jade, and let Qiaozhen put the rings on her index and ring fingers of her left hand.
"Stop joking, Emperor!"
She obviously didn't believe what Xiao Yuqi said.
